    Besides tires, I would say my ARE bed cap. I had it custom built. Flip up solid doors on the sides. Toolbox in the driver’s side door. Rope light on the inside. Clothes hanger built into the roof among other things I can’t remember at the moment lol

    Ahh, I came for a thread of stuff people have made, not added. I was expecting to see a bunch of stuff people have made with their 3D printer or a welder. That would be cool.

    I think it came in around $1500. Hoping to drive this truck for 10 more years. Figure it’ll be worth it over the long haul.

    The ability to use the Lo transfer case in 2-wheel drive. Several options for this but this no longer offered plug and play kit was excellent. In 4-wheel the turn radius gets limited both in High and Lo. This allows for full turning in the Lo range while in 2-wheel drive.

    damn dream fish in Alaska! I’m just excited to spend 4 days up in Wyoming fishing in June. Might have to convince
    the group that we should come visit you next summer!! Got the rod box for $300 from some guy who did not like how the black clashed with his white truck! His pickiness was really my gain!

    I have three off the top of my head.

    1) Intermittent wipers
    2) Cruise control
    3) GMRS radio with handheld mounted right next to the steering wheel

    @Salmonloaf @Aaron O. I don't know how much it matters in this case, but I notice your rod holders span both the roof racks and topper racks of your trucks- is there any concern for breakage due to the bed and cab of our trucks articulating indepentently of each other (because our trucks aren't unibodies)?

    RAS makes the RAS :D Some more info here I highly reccomend their product, it's a more versatile alternative to helper leafs
